Yu Xiang did not go to the court to supervise the beheading, but led the army to Dale Mountain to suppress the bandits early in the morning.

Come to the bottom of Dale Mountain, a mighty and majestic mountain, the forest is lush, the mountain is dangerous, towering into the clouds, it is really the place where the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger are.

There are a total of five bandits on Dale Mountain, four mountain bandits are full of evil, Yu Xiang decided to exterminate them all, a bandit led by a person named Zhou Whip, robbing the rich and helping the poor, is still a righteous bandit, has a good reputation in the local area, Yu Xiang decided to give him a chance to choose.

Yu Xiang asked: "Give Zhou Whip a chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, who wants to go to the letter of persuasion?" ”

Zhang Yuan, the head of the broken preaching, made a light effort and volunteered to persuade him to surrender.

Yu Xiang agreed, he took the descending book, like an ape, into the jungle, and disappeared.

Besides, in the past two days, when Meng Whip heard that the officers and soldiers of the brigade were marching in the direction of Dale Mountain, he immediately became vigilant, gathered the soldiers, and did not dare to come out in the old nest. Sent a detailed work to inquire around, and got a report that Yu Xiang, this Yu Xiang is a well-known figure in black and white in Henan, and his extermination of the three brothers of the ancient family was rumored to be supernatural, Meng Whip did not dare to be careless, and convened several small leaders under him to meet to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, a soldier came to report that an old rag had come to deliver a letter of persuasion.

When Meng Whip heard this, he was very curious: "The rag old man sent a letter of persuasion, isn't it an officer and soldier?" ”

The soldier who delivered the letter shook his head and said, "It is indeed an old man, and he does not wear a military uniform. ”

Suddenly, there was a piercing shrill laughter, which shook the roof tiles as if they were about to fall, and everyone was deeply shocked, and they were in a hurry, and when the laughter was extinguished, Zhou Whip was horrified to find that there was one more person in the room, an old Taoist, wearing a ragged sermon robe, holding a letter in his hand, and looking at Meng Whip with eyes like torches.

Meng Whip was frightened, but as the leader of the bandits, he finally saw some of the world, he quickly calmed down, stabilized his mind, and scolded loudly: "Who are you, you are so bold, you dare to trespass on this village." ”

The head of the ragged sermon laughed: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that our governor is benevolent and righteous, thinking that you still have a little humanity, I specially ordered me to persuade you to surrender and give you a chance to surrender, otherwise, I would have attacked the cottage long ago and killed you without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"What a big breath, how can I be scared by Meng Whip." With that, he had an extra whip in his hand and slammed it towards the preacher chief.

The head of the ragged preacher lightly, took a few steps back, and the whip was empty, and the rest of the people in the room showed their guys one after another, wanting to outflank Zhang Yuan, the head of the ragged preacher.

The head of the ragged sermon shouted: "The two soldiers are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, if you refuse to surrender, I will go down the mountain to reply to the order." ”

The Broken Evangelist was about to leave, and Meng Whip said loudly: "Daoist, please stay, I have something to ask." With that, he told the people in the room to back away and put away their weapons.

Zhang Yuan asked: "After surrendering, will our brothers be punished?" ”

"Our Lord Governor said that according to the "War Amnesty Law", you will all be pardoned and acquitted, but your team will be broken up and incorporated into the new guard, as for whether you can lead troops again, it is difficult to say, you must obey the unified dispatch arrangement of the Governor, and the letter of persuasion to surrender is clear and clear." The preacher replied.

Several small leaders beside Meng Whip said: "Big brother, we will follow you to the death, or we will fight with them!" ”

The head of the ragged sermon laughed and said: "You may not like to listen to what I say, even if you are a few hundred people, you dare to fight with us, Zhang Xianzhong's tens of thousands of troops have not fought us." Besides, if Zhou Whip really has the ability, our governor will not bury talents, and Liu Guoneng's troops have also been reorganized and have no command rights, but he is now the commander-in-chief of our New Guard Expeditionary Force. Zhou Da is in charge, for the sake of your hundreds of brothers who were born and died with you, weigh it carefully, go to heaven with good thoughts, and go to hell with evil thoughts! ”

Meng whipped the board in front of him into two sections, and said: "At the beginning, we were forced by the dog officials to have no way to live, so we took our brothers to occupy the mountains as kings, hungry and full, hiding in Tibet, living a life of no people, no ghosts, I heard that this governor is honest and honest, and he missed the opportunity, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get it again." ”

The head of the broken sermon took over the conversation and said: "Meng Da is still a reasonable person, this Gou County order of Queshan County has been taken by the Governor, this has been cut down, our Governor is indeed the master of the world, the world's talent, he is still the leader of the martial arts alliance, as far as my martial arts are concerned, in the team, I can't take it, Huashan faction Divine Fist invincible return to the hero, magic pen iron abacus Huang Daxia, such as the god palm of the best master, etc., are all in the new guard, the new guard is now full of talents, the combat effectiveness is amazing, the monks do not speak, As long as our Governor gives an order, your cottage is afraid that it will be broken down and filled in immediately, so please ask Meng Da to make an early decision. ”

As soon as Meng Whip heard the names of these thunderous people, he immediately admired Yu Xiang from the bottom of his heart, these people were willing to be under Yu Xiang's account and used by him, which showed his personality charm. So he made up his mind and said, "Please be recommended by the Immortal Chief, and we are willing to submit to the Governor." ”

The head of the ragged sermon stretched out his thumb and said: "Good job, good horse companion Bole, heroes follow the Ming Lord, Meng Zhai Lord abandons the dark and turns to the light, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future." ”

Meng Whip led the soldiers, followed the Broken Evangelist down the mountain, and saw the legendary Yu Xiang, to his great surprise, he originally thought that Yu Xiang had a fierce face and a burly figure, but he didn't expect him to be a handsome young man with polite and fair skin.

When he looked at the soldiers behind Yu Xiang, the queue was neat, all of them were full of spirit, majestic, and the military discipline was strict, holding all black and shiny fires. The gun, just looking at the barrel of this gun, looks like it is made of pure steel, and it can be imagined that its power must be amazing. Thinking of this, a chill rose in my heart.

Looking at the monk beside Yu Xiang again, his temples were bulging, his eyes were shining, and the clear-eyed people knew at a glance that they all had unique skills, and Meng Whip didn't dare to underestimate Yu Xiang, and he was sincerely impressed!

Meng Whip and his men knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Meng Whip and three hundred and eighty brothers will go down the mountain and surrender, and let the governor fall." ”

Yu Xiang stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, stroked the heavenly spirit cover of Meng Whip with the palm of his hand, and said loudly: "According to the "Wartime Amnesty Law", Meng Whip and his three hundred and eighty brothers are not guilty, and all previous crimes will be written off, but in the future, they must abide by the law. ”

Meng Whip and the others understood and kowtowed together to thank him.

Only then did Yu Xiang pick up Meng Whip and said: "Meng Whip, after the bandits in Dale Mountain are suppressed, your subordinates will be reorganized into the army, as for you, there are other appointments, are you willing?" ”

Meng Whip replied: "Since you follow your lordship and let your lord send you, you will never complain." From now on, I would like to follow the adult and become a new man. ”

Yu Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "The imperial court is the time to employ people, this governor will give you a chance, at the moment you have to give full play to the advantages of your familiarity with the geographical environment, lead your subordinates, assist the guerrilla generals into the mountains to suppress bandits, and exterminate all the bandits entrenched here." ”

Meng Whip commanded in a loud voice: "Yes, Lord Governor! ”

Yu Xiang issued a general offensive order: "Meng Whip and the guerrilla general led the team into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and the general Liu Guoneng led the troops to defend the key points of the intersection. ”

The generals ordered, Meng Whip led the original subordinates to lead the way, and Zhuge Shanzhen led the special forces to follow closely and enter the mountains and forests. Liu Guoneng led his troops to guard the crossings of each intersection tightly.

In a short time, a dense burst of gunfire rang out on the mountain, alarming the birds in the trees to scatter and fly, and the beasts in the forest fled in panic. Those who were waiting at the bottom of the hill in the new village soldiers carried guns platoon. As the trigger was pulled, puffs of green smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun, and the bandits and beasts who escaped from the mountains and forests were shot and fell to the ground.

After all, the bandits are not beasts, and after they found that the intersection was sealed, they turned around and ran up the mountain, and the special forces who were chased by the mountain fell to the ground and died.

Meng Whip followed the special forces, and saw that they were all extremely powerful, and those bandits and these people could not compete at all, so the special forces were like entering a no-man's land, cutting melons and vegetables, and the mountain bandits had no power to fight back.

Meng Whip was terrified, he had never seen such a powerful army. What the chief of the ragged preacher said was true, as far as the two hits of his troops were concerned, I was afraid that it would be three times five to two, and it would take a while to be cleaned up by this special forces unit, Meng Whip thanked the governor for his appreciation and grace not to kill in his heart, and strengthened his determination to follow Yu Xiang.

The suppression of bandits in Dale Mountain went so smoothly, thanks to the information sent by Jia Binjiu, it turned out that the monks and Taoist priests who were cultivating on the mountain had already handed the information to Jia Binjiu, and Jia Binjiu had already mastered the details of the bandits on the mountain. The rest of the bandits usually burned, killed and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, and the local people and the monks in the mountains hated them very much. When the battle began, the monks on the mountain joined the battle, attacking from inside and outside, and these bandits were a rabble, and soon they were all wiped out.

The battle lasted until noon the next day, and the bandits in Daleshan were all exterminated. All the bandit leaders of the four bandit dens were captured alive, and a total of 731 bandits were captured alive or killed, and only a very small number of bandits escaped into the mountains and forests.

This time, the bandits' nest was wiped out, and the harvest was quite rich, with more than 3,000 single loads of grain, 10,000 taels of silver, 100 good horses, a number of bacon, a number of pigs and sheep, and a number of wine. Except for some for the monks on the mountain, the rest of the land was transported back to the county seat.

Not only that, but the soldiers waiting at the intersection shot and killed hares, roe deer, wild boars, pheasants, etc., which escaped from the mountains, and formed a hill full of them.

With these materials, Yu Xiang was more confident, and announced on the spot: "Go back to the city to kill pigs and sheep, reward soldiers, have enough wine, and have enough meat." This is Yu Xiang's rare heroism, and many recruits who enlisted in the army have eaten meat for the first time. When the new guards heard the governor say this, the cheers rang out for a long time.

In the evening, Yu Xiang returned to the county seat with a large group of people, and the people rejoiced along the way, following behind the team, and when they arrived at the county seat, Cheng Guoxiang and Wen Zhi led the people to beat gongs and drums to welcome the soldiers back victoriously. Wen Zhi couldn't help but be secretly frightened: the bandits entrenched in the mountains, the government has returned with martial arts many times, but he didn't expect this young Governor Yu to lead his troops to the expedition, at the cost of almost zero casualties, these bandits were wiped out in two days, it was really a divine soldier. Looking at the food and materials captured by the troops, those carried, carried, carried, lined up in long queues, and there was no end in sight, and the captured materials were simply too rich. When Cheng Guoxiang saw that there was food, he had a bottom in his heart, and there was a foundation for follow-up work.

Yu Xiang rode a high-headed horse, with a high momentum, and under the front and back hugs of the soldiers, he looked particularly mighty and brave, like a god descending from heaven, which caused the crowd to marvel for a while, and his appearance instantly exploded.

To say that this Yu Xiang is placed in modern society, that is, an ordinary person, and his appearance is just like that, but in the Ming Dynasty, which is generally short, black and thin, it is very different, Yu Xiang is tall, slightly fat, and fair-skinned, in the Ming Dynasty, only princes and nobles have such a temperament, it is an ordinary person who sees Yu Xiang, and feels that he is noble from the bottom of his heart, coupled with the kind of humility that Yu Xiang has cultivated over the years, which naturally reveals, making people feel that he is noble but not arrogant, and it is even more amiable and respectable. And his legendary deeds such as the courage to eliminate bullies, fight bandits, punish corrupt officials, exterminate mountain bandits, and relieve refugees are spread among the common people, so as long as they have heard and seen Yu Xiang, the common people will naturally become his loyal admirers and followers, and it is no exaggeration to say that if his army is beaten to nothing that day, it will not take a few days for him to pull out a team of 10,000 people. The common people have reached the point of blind worship of him, and some ordinary people still put his tablet on the shrine, asking him to bless and pray for peace.
